TIP: Human Hair Ventilation, natural returns
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- In this video I'll show you my technique for ventilating human hair. when you fold the hair to form the loop so you can ventilate the hair into a knot on the lace you must be aware of how you do it so you won't waste time and hair.
You need to fold it low enough for the return roots to be able to fall flat on the head, so in this case you don't want them to be too short
On the other hand if you make the return roots long enough, (in our video a10 centimeters which is about 4 inches) you still have to deal with a problem that will occur, the returns will end in the same spot so at that spot you will have a blunt cut of hair and then the rest of the hair is going to fall much thinner. So we don't want to have a single point where all the returns end.
So the last thing you want to remember is that you need to layer the roots before you ventilate them, by puling them slightly and make them be different in length than the other returns so the return roots will gradually start to finish and until the last returns finish you will have a more seamless return cut.
I hope this helped you
you have completely taught me how to hand-make a wig for my mom who has lost her hair to chemo (breast cancer). thank you so very much!
All I can say is that you're awesome! You teach in a way that makes people want to learn. I wish I had you for a teacher in college lol. I pray that you have much success in your career! Peace, love, and many blessings...
You are awesome!!Now it all makes sense a lot of people end up with dissapointment after they have worn there wigs for about a week and it true colors start to show how the wig was poorly made other videos do not show this technique because I don't think they know either but want us to buy from them I really appreciate your videos and sharing your wisdom I'm getting more confident that I can make a quality wig and look beautiful again after alopecia
OH thank you so much about your kind words. I am glad I am helping
You are simply brilliant and I love your way of teaching. I also love your videos. You are an inspiration. Thank you again for sharing.
I've just started making wigs and was directed here by a friend who raved about you. I have not been dissapointed thank you so much!
Omg your a genius! So glad I found your channel
Slightly obsessed with watching your tutorials.. I've yet attempt my own wig, but your videos are amazing, the most concise, clear and focused ones I've seen so far..
Thank you for sharing ❤️
This was not too long at all! Thank you very much for showing us what NOT to do, as well as WHAT to do, for a very professional finish.
I love the quality of your camera! Keep the videos coming; they are helpful to those who are interested in learning tips.
That's my girl Linda
Yeah and your camera works great very detailed which makes your videos crisp and clean good choice
I went through a big journey finding how to properly use this camera and how to edit it so as to make it as clean as possible. It does come clean otherwise I don't upload the video, I re-shot some of my videos because of this!!!
Great video! Those are great tips because I was told fold 2 inches. I need to start practicing but need to find some lace or tulle to practice on. Real lace will cost. Thanks for the tips
Awesome video!!!! I feel very informed now thanks so much!
Thank you for this video! This is exactly what I needed to know, and your camera rocks!
Thanks it is tricky to make the camera work and be as sharp as possible, it has static focus for close ups so I need to calculate the distance correctly every time or it will be blurry!
@@SuperWigMaker Olá querido tudo bem ,tenho acompanhado seus vídeos e percebi q faz um tempinho q você não faz mais vídeos....
wow this was a great tutorial.. things I never thought about you addressed with great reasoning. I'm excited to start practicing my ventilating. Bravo!
Great detail is very much appreciated loved that you took your time to explain! Loved all your tips, thank you, blessings.
Thanks so much for the details demonstration and explanation. It means a lot to me.
This video explains very well in details thank you so much
Thank you, Super Wig Maker so much this is much needed and I'm going to make mine for the summer, your tips helped a lot!
Fantastic instruction! Thank you for this video.
Thank you very much for sharing your wisdom! I love the way you teach and everything is made so simple! I am new to ventilating and preparing to start can you do a video in slow motion showing how to maneuver the ventilation needle to make the knot?
Thank you for going into such detail! I have watched hundreds of videos and none of them explained this critical part of wigmaking as well as you did. Also, your voice is very soothing. You should make a meditation/relaxation video too?
you're right. I've been doing the same thing.
Thank you, like always you are extremely helpful!
Hi again. Thank you again for another excellent video. A question about looping the hair, I was under the impression that the hair can be looped between 2" and 4". Would you advise on 4" personally, or does it depend on the length of the hair that you would be working on.
If you were making a short wig, what would you suggest so as not to get the returns near the root?
No matter what length you do your video's they would still be great to watch as they are trully informative and well demonstrated. You are a great teacher, thanks again.
OK here is my 5 cents to that.
There is no point where it is better for you to fold. It is always up to your likeness. But there are several things to take into consideration when you fold the hair.
---->Two inches is a no to me... to spiky returns, I mean if you have to have so short returns then make it 1 inch, at least the spikes won't fly so high! Unless you always use products on your wigs (and especially roots) and thus you keep all the little short strands stuck to the longer returns with either hair spray or hair gel.
Also 2 inches is a no for me for the reason that the first 2 inches of the head will have too much thickness and after 2 inches the thickness will drop by half (cause the returns will stop there). So that short returns won't work in my opinion.
---->Four inches are rather OK, for average length wig it is going to be just fine, laying flat enough without even many hair products, friction and non-remy effect is only in 4 first inches so it is not a tangling fear and back-combing these 4 inch returns won't make a big problem if you are careful enough!
For too long wigs you just need to make sure that you will layer the returns as well, and do it enough so the spot that the returns end won't be any visible at all and it will mimic the natural human growth - shorter strands of hair that are still growing.
----> Layering the returns, it is even more important than layering the ends, cause maybe a haircut has a blunt cut at the ends but the returns cannot be a blunt cut inside the body of the wig otherwise it will be like a mushroom size wig and some tails falling below it
For Short wigs Remy doesn't even matter, cause lets say you want to make a pixy cut wig or even a bob cut wig. For the pixy cut you dimply fold the hair into half and then do your thing, it doesn't matter, no tangling for that length. For a bob cut wig you can keep the 4 inches returns (layered of course) and this is going to look even more natural than the really long wigs because returns and ends will be seamlessly almost the same size, with the returns fading gradually and the tails being not too long so the blend better with the returns.
(sorry for the big reply!)
Hi superwigmaker, i just start ventilating couples month ago, and just finish my first lace frontal unit,,i lives in Malaysia which is very hard to get perfect stuff to making a lace wigs..so i just working with what i have,,the result is not perfect like yours,, my question is are we gonna ventilate with single strand single knots for whole unit??btw ur videos help me a lots,, and sorry for my bad broken english...
+Jefryfifie Fifie You don't have to ventilate single strand single knot the whole unit, it would take you too much time to finish, it is not impossible but it is not necessary.
Usually we do single strand single knot (which I call high definition or simply HD) the hairline obviously and the top part if we want the extra detail, where we do the parting. Everything else can be half definition (2 strands per knot) or in the back and lower areas we can do even more strands per knot.
excellent ideas. thanks!
Thank you for this tutorial :D
I learned a lot !
with such long returns, won't you have alot of matting and tangling?
Im laughing because mine is turning out correctly because I cant keep a good grip on this friggin human hair...LMBO!! Good to know my haphazard ways are working..HA!
A little bit of slippage on the hair makes it better, yeah :D
Thank you so, so much!!
Super Wig Maker i love your videos and i find your tutorials very detailed and extremely helpful. I can't wait to start my lace from wig, right now i am practicing on perfecting the knotting and ventilation. do you have anymore tips and tricks for a beginner like myself :)
Well I think it is better for you to see the rest of the videos and if you have any questions or if you face any difficulties then let me know, I'll reply and I might as well make a video about it
I have another question when it comes to ventilation of the wig, when ventilating a wig in what part of the wig is it appropriate to use single, double or spilt knot. for example for the crown would it be best to use single knot with 3 strands and the front border of the hair single or split knot with single strand
In the back of the wig and lower part of it you can do it bulky with double knots cause it won't be visible unles you plan to make pig-tales or other things that will make parting in that area. You can even stitch some wefts there it won't be visible.
For the top part of the wig crown, parting area etc, you need a little bit more detail and if you can don't do double knots unless you can do them tight enough. If your wig is going to be dark then you should bleach those knots especially if they are double otherwise it will be hideous.
If you don't really plan to have the wig parted in a lot of different spots (like you make a wig that will be side part and that's it) then you can do it rather bulky in all areas except those 2~3 inches of line where the parting is going to be (like 1 inch in one side of the parting and another 1 inch in the other side of parting will be enough to have it natural and conceal the rest bulkier spots). Think about it as a closure spot, where you have a 2 inch wide by 4 inch deep on the part you wanna do the parting, and it all starts from hairline going backwards.
For the hairline, there is nothing to say, single knots, single strand all the way, at least 1~1,5 inches from hairline and don't do the hairline dense, you needs to determine where your hair will end, then do the first half inch fading from sparse hair to denser and then fill the rest inch again with single knots and single strands if possible.
~~~~~
Of course it always matters how much detail you wanna put. Right now I am making a full single strand single knot wig (a full High Definition unit that celebrities wear) it will take some months to finish! Talking about vanity!
thank you very much!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I love your videos... Can list a few supplier for both human & synthetic hair. I am a hairstylist look to make customs wigs for my client. I would like to use quality hair of all textures. Thank
Fascinating!!! How long does it normally take you to do a 4x4 front piece? Not side if someone else asked this question...
Hello! Thanks for your video tutorials! Do you do any hair ventilation for hire? Small repair jobs or larger projects? If not, do you know where or how I might find technicians who have these skills and open to projects from home? Thanks in advance and thanks for your good work online.
Hi, I ventilate.
And can ventilate for you, I have many workers who ventilate for me
what do you call this bow that you use to hold the screen I'm from Brazil here I don't know the name
Is the a machine for machine made closures??
Can you leave a link for that awesome round gizmo you're using to ventilate on?
Hi I am working on a virgin human hair piece. I have to keep my returns very short otherwise the cuticle on the return part will mat up the hair. I'm new to this and don't know much. Are there any tricks to help with this thank you. I have learned so much form your videos
Yes there is a way to remove the scales but it is all a big fat secret in the hair industry. The chemicals needed are hard to find.
I would gladly remove the scales from the returns only to avoid tangling. But it is what it is
This is nice, Please am in Nigeria, how can i get this Asian needle for my closures?
haha oh ok cool. can't wait to see it!!
hi mommy
Great tip... Too bad you didn't do this video a couple of months ago, with curly hair you don't notice the "spikes " so bad. Then I did a straight wig.... Oh not good Haha found that out the hard way!
Oh well I found out the bad way when I did synthetic wig, I folded the hair in half so it ended being too dense in the ends and in the main body, no layering at all.
I talk about this here:
TIP: Synthetic hair ventilation, natural ends
Super wig maker pls am not having any eye problems but ventilating seems a little bit difficult for me because the holes are too small. Is it good to find glasses to zoom the holes a little bit so that it will be easy for me to ventilate on. I jump too much lines while ventilating because I can't see the holes very well. Some times I take more strains of hair instead of one as I wanted.
Do you make wigs for people? You seem to put so much care into the process and the art of wig making. Let me know please
So far I have created a handful of professional things, one wig was still in the making when it was thrown away by my mother accidentally (it is the very first white synthetic wig video I have in my channel)
Then I did the Dante wig that I have ruined when I cut it, cause that wig was not meant to be short
Then I did 2 closures that I gave to two different friends I know
And right now I am making my very first full lace human hair high definition wig, that I have captured some phases that I explain, but the wig still needs a lot of work to finish so the video will not be ready within the next weeks.

So to answer your question, no I haven't sold anything and don't know if I'll enter this industry. The reasons are numerous, I am broke so I must find a job, I cannot work easily because I still live with my parents and wigs are my secret.
But most importantly I am not sure that what make is worthy of sell. I love my pieces and I think I give too much detail to them so maybe they worth a lot. But so far I don't even know if I can (or want to) sell stuff.
Sorry so late, just getting the hang of YT. I'm sorry to hear that, I'm not in the industry but am big on getting products that people put a lot of care in making. Hard to find these days. I hope whatever direction you decide, your as happy as you seem to be, when making your wigs.
Good luck too you
New subie and i gotta say this is in proper detailing. Just wish you weren't speaking so softly...
Pretty helpful though
thank you SO MUCH for this!! what if I want to use longer hair 16"-26", is it ok to use from a weft? do i still use the 6inch return folding method? thanks in advance!
How do you keep the hair from coming out? Do you glue the knots?
you're right. i've been doing the same thing. I don't like the blunt returns. :) btw, have you been able to find a different technique on how to make silk tops?? love your work
Thanks for the triple comment lol, no problem I understand.
I know a lot of people already do this technique but some people are simply folding the hair enough for it to lay flat but they always have it blunt cut.
There is a better way to make silk tops if you have the professional tools, I might make a video update to it. I have some silk base material and I was told you can do it with the ventilation needle as well. I know what they mean I might make a video soon to show you
Thanks Teach!
How do I keep my thumb from cramping during the process?
hello I am from Algeria and its hard to buy a net or a lace from there
plz how can i make or get a. net and thanks

How many bundles of human hair do you use for a 13x9 lace frontal
Do you seal your knots?if yes what do you use?
Oh the sealing of the knots.. this is another thing that is a taboo, nobody ever talked about that, not a single freaking product to do it correctly.
I tried in ventilated test pieces the glues, the super glues, the resins even nail polish. All of them have problems with the application and the amount of product being poured into the knots from the inside of the wig.
The only thing that can work for me as it is now is the Got2b Glue hairspray that is resisting 1~2 washes so when you apply it inside (it is a hairspray for extreme haircuts, so I apply it like spraying hair, only I spray lightly the inside of the wig) and in the next wash I'll re-apply it.
But so far even if I don't seal the knots, since my ventilation has pretty much singe strand single knot or maximum of two strand single knot I usually don't have shedding.
Plus shedding can only occur when you wash the hair and the knot loosens up because of the moisture and the tendency of the hair to revert back to its original shape (which is not a knot obviously)... so if you wash your unit on a mannequin head, and do it correctly (not like you wash you own head and scramble the hair) from roots to ends without too much teasing, the unit won't tangle and won't shed!
But I am still in the journey to find a PERMANENT way to make this!
I don't know what's wrong with my typing...haha oh well, I hope you understand my comment. my computer is acting up
i would like to ask u if its possible for me to come and learn how to do lace wig ,am so exaitet from your work.
I really do not have the place and the time to offer classes. A lot of people asked for this
I haven't tried the hairspray yet.. I ordered a sealer I won't say from where but the jerks just sold me white craft glue for the bargain price of 15 dollars. haha Thanks for the tips :-)
The white resin glues that have a body even when they set are a huge no, first they never last forever, they produce white powder if rubbed when they dry and they put colour to the knots as well.
Super glue would be an amazing way BUT it is so runny that one drop will soak the whole strand from knot to the ends, so if it was possible to drop it with a tiny syringe tip maybe and this of course would mean that you would have to do it individually for EVERY knot in the unit so then it would be an application labour intensive job!
Super Wig Maker Dear Super Wig maker
i am still a little confused about your tip for the returns i bought some russian virgin hair that has cuticle and i plan to use it for a full lace wig however i know that 4 inch returns on virgin hair will get tangeled
do you really recommend that a factory will process the 4 inch return and make the wig like that? wouldn't that ruin the quality of the hair? because the factory stripes down the cuticle with acid and then covers it with silicone but then what will happen after 1 year when the silicone washes off and the returns may start tangle a very expensive unit...???
wouldn't it be safer to do a 1 to 1.5 inch return ?again its russian hair so the return shouldn't poke up ? but if the returns do poke up does that have to do with the ventilation technique?
Sean Duran
Well if you could strip off the cuticles with the "Taki" method where they use some chemicals to remove the scales of the returns do it and let us know how you did it, so we can do it ourselves!
You can do 2 inches, I usually do a feathered 2~4 inches and there is not much tangling, anyway at this length at that area hair usually just sits on your head, it doesn't move around freely so as to tangle.
Russian hair is very thin so maybe shorter returns won't be that obvious.
But 1 inch returns, I am sure they will just be more obvious, if you are going to have them short, do it at least 2 inches just to be safe that they will be long enough to at least lay flat with the rest of the hair with some hairspray if needed.
My tips are just tips on how I do it. Most people do just 2 inch returns without feathering them and not caring for the spiky returns if they are there.
Do you give classes on line thru the computer
I want to start ventilating and don't have somuch money I plan on buying a crochet to start can u advice me is there a big difference between crochet hook and ventilating needle
Latch hook is big and you need big holed lace to work on, plus it doesn't grab the hair it is supposed to like a needle, it can grab even 200 strands at one pull so you need to visually see how many strands it grabs.
Hi, I saw that you are removed my comment about the returns., what can I do with returns if I have virgin remy cuticle hair? How long could be made the returns to prevent the tangles and matting and to avoid that the returns don't stick up? Why no one explain this important tip?
No I didn't remove ANY comments, the problem is that youtube makes some comments as spam and I have to review them but when I click "approve" it simply does nothing.
I never EVER delete comments, I am actually making videos because of comments!
For the returns we always have the problem of back combing.
There is a technique to remove the cuticles only in the roots of the bundled hair so when you ventilate, the part that is going to be a "return" is not going to have cuticles. BUT this is factory business, I personally cannot do it myself mostly because I don't know what products and method to use so as to do it.
So a good way to not having a tangling problem is to minimized the length of the returns while making sure to have them a little feathered, as mentioned in this video. Also you have rather big enough returns (again as mentioned in the video) so as not to have the spiky effect, only in the areas that are going to have hair parted.... aka the top and front of the unit.
In the rest of the unit, the returns being feathered or not, can be a minimum length and thus they will act the same way the "beard" of a weft acts. They won't create a problem but you can even go ahead and trim them a little once you ventilated them, so as to minimized them even more. BUT again, this only in the parts that your hair won't be seeing the light so as not to have spiky hair protruding from your unit
Hi can you please share what the name of the round thing you have the lace in is called? seems like it has a good hold to ventilate. thanks in advance
+Artisbeauty716 It used to be a caprice box for sweets... I turned it into a frame.
you can see how I did it here:
ua-cam.com/video/F7CR1Ws8mpQ/v-deo.html
Hope you see this. What is that round disk called that you’ve mounded the lace on?
Maybe I can help, I'm pretty sure it's a tapestry hoop 😊
Eden Marsh Thank you. What I did has create a “hack” from a Pringle’s top. It worked!
Is it possible to strip the cuticle 4 inches and use that area for ventilating? Because I still see a problem with partial cuticle correct rubbing up again cuticle backwards. it puffs and tangles up in wear. What would I use to remove the cuticle?
+AJoi B I also searched for that, there is a method to remove scales but it requires chemicals that I am not sure where I could find, the method is called" The Taki Method" and they submerge the hair in a liquid that contains some chemicals, one fo the chemicals is similar to the hair removal cremes but in much much less concentration, they keep the hair in movement in the water, shaking it and after some time the hair loses the outer scales.
It would be a very very good way to do it, I tried to do the same but I am not sure I can do that, at least not now with the knowledge and items it requires. It would be great to be able to make like 5~6 inches of no scales in the root to have even longer returns that would lay flat and wouldn't look too ugly.
Thank you thank you. Great info.

Please what is the name of the tool u use to pick the weave??
A ventilating needle held by a holder meant for this:

show!!!
What equipment are you using.
My question too but haven't gotten an answer. Tried to Google it but I must be using the wrong terminology. I'll keep an eye out for it.
Typo...looking
Am I the only one who wonders why you wouldn't just cut the returns very short? I tried to look through the comments, but there are so many. I'm just a spectator here I have never ventilated a wig, so I'm sure I'm missing something.
I've made a video no what happens when you cut the returns too short. It is in my video list
Sorry...its a German needle. I was so in to your technique.
This is an Asian needle, I ventilate faster with it and I love it. It is small and you can do the ventilation really fast.
Watch my ventilation way here:
